The Surrogacy Process
What to Expect as a Surrogate in Ohio
Here’s what the surrogacy journey looks like, from first contact to delivery:
Apply Online – Quick and easy, and we’ll follow up if you qualify to become a surrogate.
Screening & Matching – We review your application, background, and lifestyle information. Once you’re approved, we’ll match you with intended parents who feel like the right fit. Medical screening takes place after a match is made.
Legal Contracts – All parties sign legal agreements to protect everyone involved.
Medical Cycle – You’ll take fertility medications and attend embryo transfer appointments at a fertility clinic.
Pregnancy & Support – You’ll carry the baby, receive prenatal care, and deliver in your home state with your own trusted doctor. Throughout the journey, you’ll have ongoing emotional and financial support.
Delivery & Joy – You give the gift of life. It’s an unforgettable experience.
You’ll never be left wondering what’s next. Our team is highly responsive and always accessible to guide you through the surrogacy process. Northeast Assisted Fertility Group is not a medical provider and does not perform clinical procedures. Medical screening and embryo transfer typically take place out of state at the intended parents’ IVF clinic. However, prenatal care and delivery occur locally, in your home state.
